(Operation)
Hereinafter, operations of the document creation program and the document creation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  2A to 2C are schematic diagrams illustrating an operation example of the document creation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the document 200 includes a character string 200a indicating a title, for example, having a font size of 14 pt, and a character string 200b indicating, for example, a font size of 12 pt. The character strings 200a and 200b are not limited to character strings, and may be single characters.

  The image 210 is, for example, an image obtained by capturing a web browser on which a web page is displayed. The image 210 indicates the title of the web page, for example, a character string 210a equivalent to 12 pt, and the content of the web page. For example, it includes a character string 210b equivalent to 10 pt, an image 210c that is a photograph, and an image 210d that is an illustration. The character strings 210a and 210b are not limited to character strings and may be single characters.

  When the document creation apparatus 1 receives an instruction to paste an image 210 on the document 200 from the user, the document analysis unit 10A analyzes characters included in the document 200, that is, the character string 200a and the character string 200b. The most frequently used character size is extracted as a representative size. That is, in the document 200, the font size 12pt, which is the size of characters used in the character string 200b, is set as the representative size.

  The image analysis unit 10B extracts and analyzes characters included in the image 210, that is, the character string 210a and the character string 210b, from the image 210 by OCR (Optical Character Recognition), for example, the most frequently used characters. Are extracted as representative sizes. In the image 210, the font size 10pt, which is the size of the character used in the character string 210b, is set as the representative size.

  Next, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the information analysis unit 10 </ b> C enlarges the entire image 210 by 120%, for example, so that the representative size 10 pt of the image 210 is substantially the same as the representative size 12 pt of the document 200. Thus, an image 210 ′ is generated. The character string 210a 'in the image 210' has a size corresponding to about 14pt, and the character string 210b 'has a size corresponding to 12pt.

  Next, when the user is designated to paste the image 210 between the character string 200a and the character string 200b, the pasting control unit 10D pastes the image 210 ′ as shown in FIG. .

  As a result, an image having a representative size that substantially matches the representative size of the document before the image is pasted is pasted to the document. There is no size mismatch with the components added to the above.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the document creation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, when an operation for pasting the image 210 is input to the document 200 being created in the operation unit (not shown), the control unit 10 (S1; Yes), the document analysis unit 10A reads the document 200 being created. Analysis is performed (S2), and the most frequently used character size is extracted from the character string 200a and the character string 200b as the representative size of the document 200 (S3).

  Next, the image analysis unit 10B analyzes the pasted image 210 by OCR (S4), and extracts the size of the most frequently used character from the character string 210a and the character string 210b as the representative size of the image 210 (S5). .

  Next, the information analysis unit 10C generates the image 210 'by changing the size of the image 210 so that the representative size of the image 210 substantially matches the representative size of the document 200 (S6). Next, the pasting control means 10D pastes the image 210 'on the document 200 based on the pasting operation (S7).

  Further, the document analysis unit 10A, the image analysis unit 10B, the information analysis unit 10C, and the pasting control unit 10D used in the above embodiment may be read from a storage medium such as a CD-ROM into a storage unit in the apparatus, You may download to the memory | storage part in an apparatus from the server apparatus etc. which are connected to networks, such as. Moreover, you may implement | achieve part or all of the means used by the said embodiment by hardware, such as ASIC.

  Note that the change in the size of the image 210 in the information analysis unit 10C, such as changing the size of the image 210 so as to be smaller by a predetermined pt than the representative size of the document 200, is the same as the representative size of the document 200. The image 210 is not limited to match the representative size of the image 210.

  In the above embodiment, the character size most frequently used in the document 200 or the image 210 is set as the representative size. However, the average value, the minimum value, and the maximum value of the character sizes included in the document 200 and the image 210 are used. The representative size may be calculated from the above.

  In the above embodiment, the size of the most frequently used character is specified from the entire document 200 and the representative size of the document 200 is calculated. Depending on the position of the document 200 instructed to paste the image 210, Thus, the representative size of the document 200 may be changed. For example, when the document 200 is composed of a plurality of paragraphs and a portion between characters of a certain paragraph is designated as the pasting position of the image 210, the size of the characters constituting the paragraph (not the entire document 200) The most frequently used character size may be used as the representative size of the document 200.

  In addition, the representative size of the document 200 and the representative size of the image 210 may be calculated from character strings and images commonly used for the document 200 and the image 210. For example, in FIG. 2, it can be understood that “Let's use the network” is commonly used for the document 200 and the image 210 by using the document analysis unit 10A and the image analysis unit 10B. In this case, the representative size of the document 200 is 14 pt, which is the size of the character string “Let's use the network” in the document 200, and the representative size of the image 210 is the size of the character string “Let's use the network” in the image 210. It is conceivable to adopt 12pt.

  The object analyzed by the document analysis unit 10A and the image analysis unit 10B is not limited to a character string. For example, the size (size) of a note used in a score included in a document or drawing, or the document or drawing includes It may be configured to analyze the thickness (size) of the line segment used in the drawing.

  In this case, for example, when an image including a note is pasted on a document including a note, the size of the note is aligned in the document on which the image is pasted.

  Further, the object analyzed by the document analysis unit 10A may be a document group including a plurality of documents.

  Moreover, the present invention is not limited to a configuration in which an image is pasted on a document. For example, the present invention is applied to a configuration in which the display size of a thumbnail to be arranged next is changed in accordance with the display size of a thumbnail arranged in the thumbnail arrangement area on the desktop.
